Step 2: Once you’ve entered into your Online Fundraising Center, edit and update your personal page by clicking on the personal page tab.

Step 3:

Customize your personal page URL to make it easier for Team Members and donors to find you as well as to share.

Next, customize the contents of the page. We’ve provided a template, however feel free to make this page personal to your story and why you are Making Your Mark on lupus. Add personal photos or video to your page.

Personal Page vs. Event Page- When you log in, you will see you have a personal page AND event page. The Event page is where others can join your team and then receive their own personal page to raise money. Be sure to follow all steps and apply them to your event page after customizing your personal page

Add photos by browsing your photo library, choose a photo or video, click save and upload

Step 5: Now it’s time to build your team and donor base. Send emails to friends, family and co-workers asking them to join your fundraiser and/or donate. We’ve provided sample templates for you to use. Feel free to personalize these message or compose your own emails.

Step 6: Upload your contacts to send emails to recruit to join your event or donate. You can enter a single contact or import your list of contacts into our secure system.

Step 7: Importing contacts from other personal email accounts into your Fundraising Center Address Book makes it easy to solicit donations, monitor who responded, and follow up with personal thank you notes. When importing your contacts, you can use Gmail, Yahoo, or you can upload a .csv exported from another email client.

Your online fundraising center is the place to keep track of emails sent, donations received and your fundraising progress.
